Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemicals. Incorrect disposal can create risks for both people and the environment.

Potential risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas that can cause burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture violently if dropped or damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Ellesmere Port are managed safely and disposed of in full compliance with UK hazardous waste legislation.
